Cybersecurity Compliance for Covered Defense Information

This contract mandates that all subcontractors handling covered defense information must fully implement the cybersecurity controls outlined in NIST Special Publication 800-171 to safeguard sensitive data. Compliance is non-negotiable and applies to any entity operating under the prime contract awarded by the Defense Logistics Agency within the Department of Defense. Subcontractors are required to not only establish and maintain the specified security measures but also to promptly report any cyber incidents affecting covered defense information in accordance with federal requirements, ensuring timely response and mitigation. The obligation extends across all phases of performance, and failure to meet these standards may result in contract termination or other enforcement actions. The work falls under NAICS code 541512, indicating its alignment with computer systems design and related services, and is structured as a subcontract under a larger Defense Logistics Agency initiative. Performance is not restricted to a specific geographic location, allowing subcontractors nationwide to participate so long as they adhere to the cybersecurity protocols. There is no set-aside classification, meaning the contract is open to all eligible businesses regardless of size or ownership status. While no point of contact or formal place of performance is listed, the terms are binding upon award and must be fully integrated into the subcontractor’s operational and information security practices. The contract was posted in July 2026, signaling an active compliance requirement for firms engaged in DoD-related information systems.
